Forum Mascot(s)

That's what you think. :yes:

In all seriousness, I think creating a mascot for this community would be superb.

 

Maybe Tyler's pic would be awesome : D

 

LOL I love that. That would so be me!

 

I've been thinking of a mascot for my up and coming forum and have spoken to a toy maker who will be able to build the toy(s) on a large scale if needed. I'm negotiating the price at this time and hopefully the plans I have will commence sooner rather than later.

 

We have been using the following graphic in lots of our promotional banners for example:

Custom mascot toy? Now that sounds truly awesome Shelley. I hope you'll share pics and tell us how it's figured into your promotion

 

Yes, indeed - please keep us posted. I have never seen that done before... and I like it.

 

Yes, that definitely does sound awesome, Shelley! I'd be interested in seeing how it turns out. Be sure to keep us updated.

 

What about not only getting a toy, but also having someone dress up in a costume that looks like the mascot? I think that would be great!
Oh, and what would be even better is if we had a contest of who could take the best picture with the costume, that would be so cool!

 

I like the mascot I have in the works on my newest forum called, "PasteYourTaste". My username there is/will be 'Tyler' and the mascot's name is 'Tastey'. I just think with the double T and the double Taste, it flows well from both angles.

 

The idea came 5 minutes after I created a certain smiley thread and introduced two characters who violently stick their tongue out and thrash it up and down. It's mainly for myself but if it gains interest then I have the option to have it construct in bulk at a good price thus passing it to the customer at a good price.

I've not pursude it as much as I like but I'll be haggling to get the best pricing if their is indeed demand. There's other areas I need to look into and research on before It becomes a commercial product.

I'll give you two guesses what their names are?

 

One of the sites that I'm working on has it's own hand-drawn mascot(s) and logo, which I didn't do. If it were my job, they'd be poorly-drawn stick figures. Still working on the site, though, but I plan on implementing them in a few places besides the header.

 

on our board we have a bot that posts rss news, birthday greetings, welcomes new users and so on, so it is a kind of our mascot. here is his avatar...

 

I just saw this now... that is insane. :yes:

 

I think adding a mascot to my site would be cheesy and would not sit well with our members lol.

 

What are those things anyway, OneUpDave? Malevolent lemons?

 

Evil lemons.

The community was named EViL Gaming, or Every Villian Is Lemons (from Spongebob). Just yesterday, though, they merged with another community, but I still want to incorporate them somehow.

 

I like the lemons, Dave.

 

They look creepy ._.

 

:lolspit:

Our mascots actually travel the world and have their own twitter.

They are an ugly doll, but it is two-sided, so it is two of them.
